Honestly, I dont know what to tell you there man. I've just always gotten mine wholesale, never had to look.

You could always just hottank and bore out the block you've got now, dont 'have' to buy a crate motor, even though I think it would be wiser to do so.

Yea...I'm taking your stance on this...

If I'm going to put $8,000+ into an engine, I want it to be new or nearly new...

I know autozone can order crate engines...I'll go check that price

I dont know if it'll help at all, but Advance Auto price matches. And typically has better products / warranties. So i'd check around before you pick it out.
